Multielement Isotope Ratios of Vegetables from Integrated and Organic Production

Abstract: In this paper we discuss the use of isotope ratios as indicators of organic production. Few studies have investigated the influence of plant nutrition on the isotopic signatures of plants. As plant nutrition is often significantly different between integrated and organic production systems the isotope ratios in the plants may reflect this. Plant samples from a 2-year field-experiment were analyzed for 15 N, 13 C and 34 S content of the bulk-material and 18 O-content of the leaf water. In this experiment cabbag… Show more

“…Even then, nitrogen half-lives for skin from riverine manatees were still variable, most likely because of the variability in nitrogen signatures of romaine lettuce and spinach fed in captivity. The lettuce and spinach in the captive manatee diet often originated from different agricultural producers and it is possible that different fertilization techniques were used resulting in high variability in δ 15 N values (see Georgi et al, 2005). There are very few studies on nitrogen turnover in other species.…”

“…In organic materials, the proportion of N isotopes is frequently different than in the air (expressed as δ 15 N) as it is affected by numerous biochemical processes (Robinson 2001). The application of organic fertilizers enriches the soil by 15 N and the application of organic fertilizers can consequently be identified according to the increased δ 15 N in the soil organic matter and in the plants growing in such soils (Bol et al 2005;Georgi et al 2005;Ellert, Janzen 2006;Kriszan et al 2009). This is due to the enrichment of δ 15 N up the food chain, with the plants having distinctly lower values than the herbivores which consume them.…”

“…Do najczęściej wykorzystywanych izotopów pierwiastków w badaniach żywności należą izotopy wodoru (H), tlenu (O), azotu (N), węgla (C) i siarki (S). Pierwiastki te mają następujące izotopy : 1 H, 2 H, 3 H, 16 O, 17 O, 18 O, 14 N, 15 N, 12 C, 13 C, 14 S [10]. Pierwiastki i ich izotopy występują w różnych stężeniach zarówno w biosferze, jak również w roślinach, zwierzętach i w glebie [13].…”
